There is not a lot on the data front today during Asia

2350 GMT - Japan monetary base for December

0001 GMT - UK data - BRC Shop Price Index for December

0030 GMT - Australia - Trade balance for November

  • expected surplus of AUD 550m while the November (i.e. prior) was a 105m AUD surplus

Also at 0030 GMT - Japan - Nikkei / markit Servcies and Compoiste PMIs for December

  • priors were 51.2 and 52.2 respectively

Out of all that lot it's the Aussie data that might have some impact. Might, probably won't be too much unless it's a bit of a shock (i.e. a big departure from that 'expected' above)
